Currently, sustainable development is associated with the intellectualization of the mineral resource complex, with careful use of natural resources, with a decrease in the anthropogenic load on the environment. This makes new demands on the training of mining engineers related to the digitization of the mineral and resource sector. Being one of the leading coal mining regions in the world, Kuzbass (Russia) demands from its regional higher educational institutions to follow new educational standards, making ICT, web-sources and e-learning the significant and inherent part of educational process. This paper reveals the author’s experience of integration the mobile voting service (Socrative) into teaching mining engineering students. We conducted the experiment to test this service among mining engineering students. Our methods included interviewing, testing, observations. The received data proved that this mobile service could improve educational process in various ways. The value of mining engineers, provided for new knowledge, is increasing in the process of innovative development of the mineral and resource sector, in which traditional resource-intensive technologies give way to lean production.
